SAID THE WOUNDED ONE:—

Just see that we get full value

Of that for which we have paid.

The price has been a heavy one,

But the goods are there — and we've paid -.

We've paid in our toil and our woundings;

We've paid in the blood we've shed;

We've paid in our bitter hardships;

We've paid with our many dead.

It's not payment in kind we ask for,

Two wrongs do n't make much of a right.

All we ask is — that, what we have paid for,

You secure for us, all right and tight.

The Peace of the World's what we're after;

We've all had enough of King Cain,

And the Kaiser and all his bully-men,

With their World-Power big on the brain.

No!— we fought with a definite object,

And it's this — and we want it made plain,—

That it's God, and not any devil,

That's to rule in the world again,
